Good policies must truly think about what farmers think and keep farmers' needs at heart.
Straw utilization is an old topic, but it attracts people's attention every year during the summer and autumn harvests. Before the 1990s, straw was fuel for boiling water and cooking in rural areas. Farmers raising livestock used straw leaves to feed sheep and used stalks to make fires. At that time, rural energy was in short supply, and no uncut straw could be seen on cultivated land.

The "grain vs. fruit competing for land" issue needs to be re-examined from a different angle
Does the logic of competition for land between agricultural industries hold up? Yesterday I was still thinking about the non-grain use of land in fruit-growing areas, and today I heard the concept of "grain vs. fruit competing for land." Liujiagou Town in Penglai City, Shandong Province, has 61 villages and 30,000 people. Of the town's 60,000 mu of farmland, fruit trees cover about 30,000 mu, mainly apples, grapes and cherries. In terms of quantity, grain cultivation accounts for only half of the total farmland area, and more and more grain fields are being transferred through land circulation to local enterprises for fruit tree planting. This undoubtedly gives the impression of "grain vs. fruit competing for land." Through our research, we found that this view is open to question.
